This was never meant to be effective right away. It doesn't do much until 2014 anyway. What it DOES do is give the Obama administration the ability to say they've passed historical legislation, which they have.

I believe the intent here all along was to pass it to be able to say they passed it and then worry about the fixes later. After the elections. Problem is I don't see Congress caring too much about going back and fixing this.
